Contact a venue after a visit?

You can inquire with the venue of your choice to put a hold on the date hold if possible by them since your interested in their location. I don't see anything wrong with this as it could get booked up easily and losing your hope on it. Also check out the last venue and if you change your mind to cancel the first one, let them know.

When you reached out to the venue and scheduled a visit, were your dates available or did you simply schedule a visit? You can certainly inquire about dates, there's no harm in that and some may hold a date based on that inquiry following a visit. But if others also express interest, they will take the first person who officially books.

There's usually more back and forth between you and the venue operators to discuss pricing options after the venue visit before you sign so if you haven't even looked into scheduling yet, you can wait until after this weekend when you have a more firm idea.

I would just wait until you check out the last venue. if it's not what you like, then contact the venue you'd like to go with.

I would definitely contact them and say exactly that.

We would like to place a hold on our date, we are very interested but want to fulfil our pre-booked appointment with another venue.

Is this alright?

You can absolutely email them and tell them exactly that... You're very interested but you do have one more venue to visit. With ours they held our date but if someone else were interested we'd have 24 hours to decide if to book or they can pass it to that couple.

Hi!

It really depends on what the venue offers. When I visited a few places in Alberta this past month (4) they all had on their website that if you are interested, contact after viewing to "hold the date" for a week while you make arrangements for the deposit, and of course while you check out their contracts, preferred vendors, etc. Of course - visiting that last venue just on a based what-if situation, but knowing you want the other one really helps too. This happened to my fiancé and I, we visited 1 and they had the everything we wanted and while we checked out two others during the week we asked to hold it and to see their list of vendors (ask this because sometimes their preferred vendors may be out of budget - therefore not being able to book with them if they say you have to book with one of these and there is no leeway) and everything just budgeted out perfectly. We are signing the contract and giving the deposit with our date still locked in.

There is no harm asking!
